I finally found an afternoon today in which I was free from work and could attend a tennis practice. It has been very difficult for me to be an active member due to my sudden work schedule. I feel terrible because I am not as committed as I should be to this activity, but I need to work so that I can have money for life´s many expenses.
Anyways, practice today went really well. We were able to use all six of the courts today because the girls had a match, so we played sets against each other. I was on a doubles team with Luke, who has been my doubles partner for a while now. First we played Nick and Nick, and won 6-2. Then we played Miklos and Joey, and won 5-2. I was very pleased with my performance. I hadn´t won any matches in a while, and not only was this a confidence boost but it proved to me that I had some skill in tennis. I worked very well together with Luke, making it a point to be encouraging when good shots were made and also using some constructive criticism. I could tell that I had improved in forehands and backhands too, as very few of my shots failed to get over the net. I think that I played holding nothing back and simply having fun, which made a huge difference. The pace was quicker too, especially in the match against Nick and Nick, and I think this helped my game as I was unable to overthink the shots.
